1973 Map of Draketown

About this map

The Tallapoosa River flows through the northern reaches of this rural landscape, which sits at the convergence of Haralson, Carroll, and Paulding counties. In the early 1970s, this area remained largely defined by its network of country churches and small family cemeteries, centered around the community of Draketown. The map reveals a land structured by small-scale agriculture and natural drainage, with Panther Mill Creek and Brooks Creek carving through the terrain towards the larger river system.
